World War Z (2013)	There are a lot of "goofs" visible in the pictures and videos. One big goof can be seen here: There are a bunch of photos of this SWAT van sitting in front of the "United States Court House." Unfortunately, the flags are placed incorrectly. When facing the building, the US flag should be on the left. The state flag should be on the right. Unfortunately, they used a City of Philadelphia flag: instead of a State of Pennsylvania flag: It's my understanding that the custom is the same in Britain. When facing the building, wouldn't the Union Jack be on the left and the Scottish Saltire be on the right? The license plates are all over the place. The fonts used are clearly wrong. In addition, it looks like a bunch of the plates are anachronistic. The worst one appears to be this plate on a PT Cruiser: While many cars have anachronistic yellow Pennsylvania license plates which haven't been issued since 1983: The bottom of the plate on the PT Cruiser reads, "Vacationland," which indicates that it's a yellow Maine plate that hasn't been issued since 1973: -- Last edit: 2012-02-11 23:00:53	2011-08-21 02:31
The Lying Game (2011-2013)	The show is set in Phoenix, AZ area as you can see from the "Phoenix Transit Center" (/vehicle_425622-Honda-Fit-GD.html) and the Scottsdale Police Car (/vehicle_425644-Dodge-Charger.html). There's also an early scene in Las Vegas, NV (/vehicle_425613-Nissan-Versa-C11.html) and a scene set in Los Angeles, CA at the end of the episode. The California plate appears to be on a late-1960s Buick Skylark. According to http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/, California EZP265 was on a 1995 Ford Mustang and a 2000 Honda Civic. -- Last edit: 2012-02-11 22:58:33	2011-08-21 00:45
GM C/K-Series The Lying Game (2011-2013)	You're probably right. I read that the pilot episode was shot in Albuquerque, NM but the rest of the season will be shot in Austin, TX.	2011-08-20 23:55

2004 Toyota Echo [NCP10] Eureka (2006-2012)	The Yaris name wasn't used in the U.S. and Canada until about 2006. The 5-door hatchback was sold in Canada, but wasn't sold in the U.S. until 2009. Prior to that, the 4-door Platz and Belta were sold as the Echo sedan. In the show "Psych," Gus drives a 5-door Echo hatchback that wasn't available in the U.S. (/vehicle_123174-Toyota-Echo-NCP10-2004.html).	2011-08-15 23:22

Freightliner FL 112 Alphas (2011-2012)	Someone on IMDb posted a goof about the trucks which contains a spoiler. Spoiler - click here to see it In the episode, Gary translates a document that shows the USDOT number of the taker truck with the fuel and bomb is 3679431. The Alphas team stop and search the truck, but they find the tanker trailer is empty and there is no bomb aboard the truck. The USDOT number of the truck is shown. It does not match the message shown above. It is 3679432. The last digit is 2 instead of 1. Next, the truck with the full fuel tanker trailer and bomb is shown continuing towards its target. The USDOT number shown is 3679431. It is the same as the message above. When Gary translates another document, the year is shown to be 1011. This leads him to discover the woman helping him translate the documents, Anna, is the person who planned the attack. Since the year shown is 1011, this leads him to discover that the USDOT number should end in 2 rather than 1. The dialogue clearly indicates that the decoy truck's USDOT number is 3679431, and the actual truck's USDOT number is 3679432. However, the USDOT number shown on screen are reversed and don't match the dialogue. In addition, the role of USDOT numbers is portrayed incorrectly. In the episode, the Alphas team are able to use the USDOT number to track the truck with GPS. In reality, USDOT numbers are issued to companies or organizations that operate a commercial vehicle fleet. The number alone would not allow someone to track a single truck. It would only lead them to the company that owns and operates the truck. The USDOT numbers used in the episode are invalid. Currently (as of 8/8/2011), the highest USDOT number issued is 2180199. The online USDOT registration loookup can be found here: http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx -- Last edit: 2011-08-09 09:11:56	2011-08-09 09:07

1988 Honda Accord Sinful Temptations (2001)	According to the plate collector site: http://www.15q.net/ga.html "Georgia 1998 passenger issue. Another current-base Peach issue. Prior to 1997, the "two-alpha" format was reserved for non-passenger categories (truck, trailer, etc.) These designations were eliminated by a 1997 law, however. Since plates in the 1234 AB format had already been produced, the state went ahead and issued them, regardless of vehicle class. As a result, many plates in this format were issued to passenger cars. This plate comes from Candler county." -- Last edit: 2012-02-11 22:57:21	2011-08-06 01:18

1989 Peugeot 405 S 1.9i Chaos (2011)	I know. I suppose the car is "unmarked" rather than "undercover." A lenghty discussion about the difference can be found here: /vehicle_399259-Ford-Crown-Victoria-P71-2003.html In the episode, the detective was following the CIA agents. Of course, the agents knew he was following them, and the detective knew the agents knew. The agents had someone crash into his car so he could not follow them. In the episode, he tells the agents that he just paid off the car. That would indicate the detective owns the car, and not the National Police.	2011-08-04 01:46
Land-Rover Defender 90 Carabinieri Chaos (2011)	It looks like it's from "Angels & Demons." It appears to be from the scene, beginning at 1:28:00, when the Carabinieri raids the Castel Sant'Angelo. -- Last edit: 2011-08-04 01:05:23	2011-08-04 00:40
1989 Peugeot 405 S 1.9i Chaos (2011)	Here's another image: I noticed the license plate appears to be 75N-4242G, a pre-2005 National Police plate. I suppose this is accurate since it is driven by a character who is a police detective. -- Last edit: 2012-02-11 22:56:41	2011-08-04 00:30
Custom Made XOF1 Suits (2011-2013)	The sign next to the car reads "X23." However, I think it is called the "XOF1" (or "Xof1").

(archived) Bridesmaids (2011)	G-MANN wrote That's a really old-fashioned (and crap) way of making illicit copies. Nowadays there's better ways, I don't know how it happens (I've never actually downloaded a whole film before) maybe there's leaks at the studio or they just copy DVDs sent to the press etc. Personally I don't really approve of pirating films that are still in the cinema, and anyone who gets caught in a cinema with a camcorder deserves whatever they get. You are correct. I used to work at a movie theater, and in the mornings before we opened for the day, we would have "press screenings" for local film critics so they could write reviews before the film opened. However, sending tapes or DVDs to the film critics is also common. At the theater, we would often get an early copy of the film to give to critics who couldn't make it to the press screening. One way to recognize a DVD sent to the press is they often have a "Property of [Studio Name/Film Distributor]" pop up in the film every few minutes. You can see an example of that here: /vehicle_345992-GAZ-14-Chaika-1977.html I have visited the Internet Movie Firearms Database (IMFDb), and they have a "No Bootleg" rule for their website. It might be worth considering such a rule for IMCDb. Sandie wrote If this was the only page that had pictures from legally questionable sources... Even then in cases where the source is legal we may be contravening copyright laws. I'm not absolutely sure but isn't it the case that with "reproduction of the whole or in part" being prohibited then surely the stills posted on this site could be prohibited by the law. Of course it is a heavily nit-picky interpretation of the law here and I am no lawyer. I think the images from films posted on IMCDb fall under the legal doctrine of "fair use." -- Last edit: 2011-07-26 22:52:45	2011-07-26 22:43

1974 Porsche 911 935 replica The Rockford Files (1974-1980)	I think the way they "greeked out" the word "Porsche" is pretty silly. Rockford goes here to get the address of the woman driving this Porsche: /vehicle_418456-Porsche-911-Turbo-930-1976.html Additional images: In the thumbnails, you can see the sponsor on the hood is "Jakes - Tahoe City," which seems to be a real place. However, I couldn't find anything on "Hoesman Fiberglas." There are some stickers/decals on the window, but they are difficult to read.	2011-07-23 03:53

This one appears to be called the Safeguard Armor Series 500. The Isuzu armored cars I found online are usually based on the 600P.

Rookie Blue (2010-2013)	Here's the title card for Ep. 2.01: Owlman, are you still working on the first few episodes? I noticed this Charger in Ep. 2.01. The two blue stripes and red-and-white Vector lightbar seem to indicate that this car was made to look like an NYPD Charger for some production set in New York. Based on the emblem next to the door, it looks like they were shooting for something that looks kind of like a Peel Regional Police car.	2011-07-21 00:26
